Mini-rock,

Yeah, I agree, just a couple of split-second drop-outs but annoying nonetheless. But hey, I put up with pixelation and drop-outs with HD programming, so I guess I shouldn't complain about dts.

And, by the way, Dolby Digital in movie theaters is a less robust system than dts, because as a Dolby print gets worn, the data, which is photographically imprinted between the sprocket holes, gets damaged, so the system will collapse sometimes to Dolby Surround or even just stereo!

DTS soundtracks play back from separate CD-ROMs in the movie theaters, so aren't subject to drop-outs or defaulting to stereo.
